李荇의 유배시에 나타난 정서 양상

Abstract

The purpose of this study is identifying the poetic emotion shown in the poem made by Lee Haeng while exiling in Chungju, Haman province and Geoje Island. The centralism of early Chosun period slowly collapsed during the middle age and the society was in chaotic situation with the four events of massacre of scholars. Hence, the some people who entered the government service accomplished their will or some were exiled by losing the political power. The exile is a sort of punishment which criminals were sentenced for rest of their lives instead of the death sentence, then these extreme experiences influence the exiles. The exilic life is the other aspect which cannot be missed for the politicians of those times with the political and rural life. Let’s look at the poetic emotion and emotional changes shown in the poems by Lee Haeng during the exile. Lee Haeng’s exile was assigned to Chungju at first for 3 years then to Geoje Island through Haman province by involving in the Gapja massacre of scholars. As he moved the place of exile, he left manuscripts of poems with the tile of Jeokgeorok(≪謫居錄≫) in Chungju province,Namcheonrok(≪南遷錄≫) in Haman province and Haedorok(≪海島錄≫) in Geoje Island. The criterion of classifying the types of emotions in exilic poetry is the attitude of poetic mind toward the reality. The method of describing the reality is changed depending on the exilic situation. The types of emotions can be described as the way how to express the conflicts against the reality and we can see how to solve the problem against the reality or internal conflict. The frustrated and the desperate emotion of self lamentation shown at the beginning of Jeokgeorok(≪謫居錄≫) changed into the positive emotion as comforting himself in Namcheonrok(≪南遷錄≫). This transformation seemed to somewhat solve the desperation and solitude through the friendship with the other exiles and rather to have the opportunity to look back himself in Haedorok(≪海島錄≫). Therefore, the direction of the poem attained the emotion of self enlightenment. Lee Haeng internally looked over himself and established the attitude of making more objective observation of his nature in the chaotic reality. The active internalization of dissatisfaction toward the reality shows poet himself solving the conflicts harmonically. This can be known as the process in which the writer or poet solves the problems of real world.
